(jiouiid color a rather even hiteoiis brown, varying in shade to more 

 luteous or more reddish, minutely powdeiy. Head and tlioiax eoncol 

 orous. Primaries with the ordinary lines marked by brown, blackish, 

 or blaclv, (juite prominent costal spots, but indetinite or obsolete below 

 that point. Btisal line marked only on costa by a single black line. 

 Transverse anterior line prominently marked on the costa, but below 

 that point traceable only by a few black scales and a small si)ot on the 

 median ^•ein, which is sometimes wanting. Transverse posterior line 

 marked by a series of venulardots, accompanied by a vague, indefinite, 

 paler shade. Subterminal line most iirominently marked, pale, its 

 course nearly straight; but tlie line itself is crenulated, the curves out- 

 ward and usually filled inwardly byblaek dots, which are variably dis- 

 tinct, sometimes forming a quite obvious shade and occasiunally disap- 

 pearing altogether. A broken black terminal line, occasionally changing 

 to lunules and sometimes almost disappearing. The apex is marl^ed 

 by an oval brown or black costal patch. Orbicular absent. Kenitbrm 

 a more or less prominent black lunule, distnict in all the s2)ecimens seen. 

 Secondaries paler than the primaries, often shaded with blackish out- 

 wardly, crossed by an even, rather well-defined bhick shade line at the 

 middle and a more irregular pale line toward outer margin. This lat- 

 ter line is marked in proportion to the dark shading of this past of the 

 wing and is sometimes preceded by a blackish shade. There is also a 

 narrow black termiiml line interrupted on the veins. Beneath nu)re 

 powdery, the primaries smoky, darker through the center, with a dark 

 discal spot, a distinct black extra median line and a pale subterminal 

 line, the latter reproduced from upper S'de. The secondaries are more 

 grayish, more powdery, the maculation of the upper side reproduced,
